I'm seeing people argue that WBY knows how ascension works, and that's why they don't have any kind of freak out over Ruby drinking the tea, but do they know that? Do they really?
The paper stars explained how ascension works for them, but there's been a claim since early in the show that going to the tree doesn't work the same way if you're not from the Ever After. Jaune claimed that going to the tree/ascension means you lose yourself and your memories, that you become someone else.
100%, if I was one of WBY and I saw Ruby drink some tea, 'die', and get summarily swallowed up by the earth I would not be living in calmsville. I mean, I ASSUME I would at LEAST be as upset as the freaking cat.
Like, come on. Are we supposed to think WBY are Ruby's friends? Like, at all? We jump back into the show and the first thing they do is smile and give Jaune a pep talk about how failure is okay.
Augusta originally worked as a part time astronaut at a Star Depot, which collected star Fragments and sent them back to earth to be used as fuel similar to nuclear power.
Augusta wasn’t really in a good place at the time while working there. She never had any kind of big ambition in life and wanted to live life peacefully, but knew that “getting by” isn’t enough for her to survive. People around her kept expecting so much of her that she didn’t know what to tell them.
Working as an astronaut helps take her mind off things at first, but then she starts to feel worse. She doesn’t get invited out to things, but she doesn’t really make any effort to try, and relatives are asking how she’s doing and she doesn’t know what to tell them without it turning into a lecture. and over time it piles up
First she starts asking for more shifts handling and shipping the stars. Then she asks to do overtime. And finally one day she finds a tiny Fragment on the floor.
The thing about Fragments is that they change your body and can make you very sick if youre near them for too long.
Tomorrow would be a holiday and the building would be closed. The Shift manager, who promised to close up, left early for drinks with coworkers. So she was the only employee working.
So she picks up the star and swallows it expecting to die. But instead her hair turns pink and the dust around her floats, and when she breathes no air comes out. The Star fused to her body and latched to her heart.
Basically, her suicide attempt gave her her own way to live and pink hair as a bonus lol
Here’s what her hair looked like before and after The Incident <3
"We don't hate Jews and fight them because they are Jews. Jews are people of a religion, and we are people of a religion. We love all people of different religions. My brother even if he is my brother and he is a Muslim—if he steals my house and kicks me out, I will resist him."
— Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin, founder of Hamas.
I feel like actually shit like the entirety of last week getting to me. I wish I could have a moment of actual relaxation and not just me forgetting I have shit to do.

If we're going to justify companies underpaying and underhiring women for potentially getting pregnant, well, women might get pregnant and take a year off for maternity leave but at least they won't kill themselves because they got stressed and wouldn't go to a therapist or because child porn was found on their computer, so actually I'd say men should be paid less and not given prestigious positions and lots of responsibilities. Just in case.
controversial psych critical opinion because few psych critical people agree with me on this but I DO believe BPD describes a real...not necessarily disorder but cluster of symptoms that occur from (usually) attachment trauma that very well deserves to be in the dsm because people with that cluster of symptoms need treatment, but I think generalized anxiety and other disorders where it's basically "youre anxious/depressed/reacting this way for no reason and it's because you have a problem and you're crazy and it's your fault" shouldn't materially exist.
like yes, if you fall under the label of generalized anxiety disorder your suffering is real and valid, but realize that your diagnostic label as it exists is BASICALLY "we think you blow your anxieties over things that might be very real to you out of proportion and also you're hysterical and possibly have munchausen's syndrome"

Miles walking up to the mic and Alex like during the TLSP times 😭
The first time in 5 years that these two Grace a stage with their shared presence 🥹 but also how grown up and different they both look while still seeming like the exact same lovesick puppies that met all the way back in 2003
AND JUST YESTERDAY MILES’ GUITARIST POSTED THAT 505 WAS THEIR BAT/TURTEL SIGNAL AND TODAY THEYVARE PLAYING TIGETHER AHHHH sorry I gave up trying with grammar
When we got the info that Miles was present at the stadium I was already freaking out but this this is so much better (I felt like we were playing little illusion machine with ourselves)
Also we got confirmation that they hugged in the beginning and ended it with a kiss on the cheek by Miles
I saw somewhere during 17.06 when the yellow poster got published that someone was being delusional like yellow that’s the color of TLSP who’s in TLSP right Alex And Miles so so conclusion Miles is gonna be there, I mean it was a day too soon but still… being delusional paying off 🤣
Wearing brown leather jacket I love my guys but also please tell me he just quickly popped round to the store after the show for some booze or new cigs while they were celebrating together and didn’t just leave after the gig cause I couldn’t handle that

How Miles keeps looking at Alex and Alex keeps pointing at Miles and Alex stimming at the end and Alex’s full scrunchy face smile when Miles walks up to him and Miles smirk and the mic and and and I’m unter rot irrevocably besotted, how Miles just seamlessly fits in with the boys
But also I’m really hoping for a video where we can see the cheek kiss that apparently happens after the lights went down

I love that we know Miles and Al +monkeys had a very long night cause he posted at around midnight to his story and then nothing for fourteen hours till around 2 pm when the next 505 clips came 🥃 🍸 🍻
Clip of Miles with Chef Tom Brown and Jay Forrester and other friends during Cornerstone, Miles singing along 🥹 (Tom’s restaurant name) god he seems so happy, Tom Farrell was there as well but on the other stadium side (he posted a story of two lads getting into a boxing match during do I wanna know😂) Miles’ manager rosie_skinner was also present, and I love how Miles didn’t just watch from the wings but enjoyed the concert with his friends from the seats (I’m imagining this is how he invited them: “you wanna go out tonight?” “Sure what did you have in mind?” “Wanna come watch me and my husband play our song in Emirates stadium?”) and he probably was given a setlist beforehand or some roadie was ordered to fetch him a few songs ahead to come backstage where his already tuned guitar was and then Miles was ready to go only waiting for Alex to call him onstage
Somewhat able to see the crowd jumping In the Video
Also just me or does it seem like Miles got a fresh haircut :)
My day literally consisted of watching that HUG over and over again from every possible angle, I love them and their dramatic hugs like they haven’t seen each other barely two weeks ago that we are aware of, but really I need to receive a hug like that one that’s just I missed you and I’m gonna squeeze all my love into you right now, the kisses 🥹🥹 Miles just casually kissing Al’s neck and his cheek and nuzzling his neck again 🫶🏽 and Alex cradling his head I can’t
Via Miles insta how Alex literally tilts Miles head so he can have better access for the neck kiss and how his hand digs into Miles’ shoulder he literally clings onto him for dear life and tries to ground himself and find the strength for the remaining concert in that hug 🫠
A view at 505 from the wings and a quick Miles and Cookie hug and forehead kiss (also thank you Miles for that prime few of Jamie’s arse 🤣🫶🏽)
Miles’ evening summarized #coming on stage #slaying the guitar parts #kissing half the monkeys 💅 #leaving
currently luz only has a handful of glyph combos—invisibility, the sleeping steam spell she did with hunter, the hover spell, and the combos she got from phillip’s journal. i guess she kind of knows phillip’s teleportation glyph? anyway i’m surprised no one has said anything about trying to make a healing glyph? even if luz doesn’t know how to make one, you’d think she’d at least consider looking into it. healing magic is like. one of the basic things plucky fantasy adventurers need and luz is trope savvy enough to know that.
also it fits with her background. her mom is a vet and literally “heals” animals for a living. growing up with a parent like that, luz would have some interest or at least knowledge in medicine that she’d reasonably connect to magic. once she found out she can make glyph combos one of her first thoughts should have been “cool wonder if i can make a healing spell with that since i keep getting myself into danger.” the healing glyph definitely would have come in handy in the most recent episode where hunter almost died lol.
anyway if they never brought it up i dont think they’ll do anything special with healing glyphs. luz can’t discover every glyph combo for every spell in existence within the show. the fact that she’s “only” learned like 7-8 combos in all of season 2 and only discovered like 3 without phillip, shows how hard it is to discover these things. even if luz is considered to be “fast” at learning glyph magic. healing spells are just such an important part of the repertoire in classical fantasy, so i’m surprised that they barely mentioned it in the show.
@you-are-my-neverland bouncing your tags like a basketball thanks so much.. you’re right, i love my fucked up girls and just really want other people to love them too! or hate them, tbh. any strong emotion would fit the bill.
also two things:
1) yes, juve is the only one to know of safi’s death, even if she doesn’t quite think of it that way because in her mind she is quite literally keeping safi alive - or helping safi live, rather, helping her grow and develop the same way safi would have, the same way safi could have if she hadn’t cut the story short so soon. juve sees what she’s doing as a favor to safi, if a little bit of a fuck you, see what other options you had? she feels qualified to be safi - and, as time goes on, maybe even a little bit more qualified than safi herself was, since at this point juve had ‘furthered her character’ so much more than safi herself had been able to.
in juve’s own words:
(which also ties in with the fake-humble superiority complex juve has towards other skinshifters. but sorry i’m getting off track.)
essentially juve is the one who found safi’s suicide note, dedicated to her, and was so blindsided by grief she turned it into scorn and vague irritation instead - half over the whole situation, which she found entirely avoidable, and half over the fact that there was a note to start with. like, who did safi think juve was, to think she needed an explanation for why she did this? how stupid and oblivious did she think juve was? of course juve knew the reasons. she just didn’t agree with the course of action. and then there was the matter of the contents of the letter itself:
so, yeah. total fail on safi’s end as far as juve sees it (shock is one hell of a drug)
juve went on to keep the note, then shift into safi and take her place to her family and the wider world at large. safi’s parents never paid notice to juve so there was never any question as to where juve went, and juve’s nini (grandmother & primary caretaker, given her parents traveling abroad) had recently passed away as well (another thing juve wasn’t quite processing) - so people assumed her to be grieving, and that she’d just withdrawn for a while. later, when juve didn’t reappear, this view changed to ‘oh shit maybe she ran away?? maybe she killed herself??’ and other general theorization that juve didn’t bother updating them on. this went on for a few months before safi’s parents decided to enlist her for the academy
2) thank you so much for title validation i’d been manifesting a chance to use her for ages - i can finally live out my dream of having two linked wips named after the expressions ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ / ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ 🙏
